🥂🍾🎇 Happy 2019, Product Hunters!
Here's a mini side project that I thought might be interesting for people working with remote teams.
At Bohemian Coding we are a 100% remote team, distributed across multiple timezones. Plus I'm often traveling so I never know on which timezone difference I have with my colleagues. And we are heavy users of Slack.
Last month, @robotic_mermaid said "been on since 8:30, definitely forgot to say hello. Hello!". Which made me wonder what time it was here, like 1h ago, 2h ago? I had no idea. But Slack knows! So we started brainstorming.
The first step was to create a slackbot that automatically sends you a private timezone conversion without interrupting the flow of conversation.
Step 2 is world domination, removing timezones altogether. We’ll just have to compromise on who gets to sleep while the sun is out 😉
If you have any feedback or ideas, please let me know and I'll implement them ASAP. 😋
PS: it's free and open source: https://github.com/mathieudutour.... It's not storing anything except the slack team ID and is not collecting anything.
